Musings of the Artist: (Honest) Conversations with Montse Andrée

Victoria Chang is a poet, writer and editor. Her new book of poetry is The Trees Witness Everything (2022). Her other books include Dear Memory: Letters on Writing, Silence and Grief (2021) and OBIT (2020).

In this episode, we chat about collaboration in art, her wonderful and varied use of form in her writing, and her current role as poetry editor at The New York Times Magazine.

We also talk about growing up between cultures, and the realization that the very things that make us different are often, as Victoria notes, our strengths.
